Hey Joe can we talk about how our stud rookie LB outplayed your luv child Josh Allen!!??? Allen has a sack but was not a factor, my boy D White has his fingerprints all over this win. Thank god Lee is not our GM. Licht’s plan to sign Barret and draft White is a thing of BEAUTY!!! Boooo!!!

Honestly even though we only have a 5 win team, we need to resign all of these guys! They are really coming on now and are a pleasure to watch progress. Even SMB got in there with a critical interception.

Worth noting that Barrett is a free agent and does have to want to come back…….For that reason it is a pitfalls of tanking for draft ots that some give no credit to.

Barrett can literally choose where he wants to play……Now all players are different but some choose a team they think they can win with. Y’all wanna tank then you can’t whine if we lose quality players.

Jameis better look at all the times he’s put this team in a bind with all his turnovers and give the Bucs a hometown discount so that they can pay Shaq Attack the money he deserves. We need him more than any player on this team. Winston doesn’t deserve a huge or long term contract. 3 yrs $$39mil at the most with$$15mil guarantee. No other team is going to pay him a huge contract so he needs to bite his pride and stay at a lower contract

Those guys are all key pieces. I don’t think they’ll be able to sign Jameis for much less than 20m/season average. Maybe you can get that average down to 18 but otherwise another team will definitely offer him as much.

It’s just the going rate today considering what some other starters get paid. I mean mike LOLglennon got like 18m a year or something right? and he didn’t even start half the season!

And please stop saying “sign Winston to a two year deal”. That will never happen. Who in the hell signs a two year deal? If we resign Winston it will probably be a 5 year deal with 3 years guaranteed at @ $23-$25 million per year.

We can easily spend $25m per year on Jameis, and still bring back the defensive line. How?

Because part of the new labor agreement may well allow teams to make one player exempt from the cap…that would obviously be the highest paid player, freeing up the $25m in cap space.

As to Barret, re-signing him is an absolute must, but I would take JPP over Suh. We can draft a good DT to replace Suh. JPP would be next to impossible to replace. With Vea in the middle, all we need is a big run stopper next to him.

I hope I’m wrong but the buccs have proven they are unwilling to pay these kind of players in the past. Add his name to the long list of guys that show talent and promise but this organization lets them walk and then overpays washed old vets. No Barrett no JPP and no Suh this line will be less productive and on top of that a very young secondary next year will be rough

We can’t keep the key players on D and sign Jameis, we just don’t have the money to do it. As we all know, defense wins championships, it’s not just a saying, it’s true. You put the best D versus the best O in the SB, and 90% of the time, the Defense is going to win that game.

Paying JW big bucks is the wrong move. If he stays on a team deal so we can sign the people on D we desperately need, then fine. If he wants big money, we lose the players we need to keep, and will continue having a losing team. If JW didn’t turn the ball over like he does, maybe we could be a one-sided all out offensive powerhouse, and still win, but he’s not Mahommes so I have no faith in that working for this team.
